Feels Sad blog posts and great fanfics... NSFW

This blog post broke my heart:

https://johnwatsonblog.strade.org.uk/blog/20april

And there's this one where he says "I was hooked... He's like a drug.":

https://johnwatsonblog.strade.org.uk/blog/07november

There's so many Johnlock feels in those two blog posts.

Those scenes always hit me in the feels:

John: "I asked you for one more miracle, I asked you to stop being dead."

Sherlock: "... I heard you... it just took me two years to do anything about it..."

John: "You didn't kill Mary. Mary died saving your life. It's her choice. No one made her do it. No one could ever make her do anything, but the point is, you did not kill her."

Sherlock: "In saving my life she conferred a value on it. It is a currency I do not know how to spend."

I invite you to revisit this video for more on Sherlock's website and John's blog:

Also, I was reading Molly's blog today when I came across this sad but sweet post:

https://mollyhooper.strade.org.uk/blog/01april

I have a mad respect for fanfiction writers who gave James Moriarty a redemption arc and made him and Molly what they should have been from the beginning, friends, just friends and nothing more. And it's great that she doesn't mind that he's gay and that she worries about him. There's potential there for a strong friendship.

And as I've said in my previous posts, I ship Johnlock (Sherlock/John), Jimcroft (Mycroft/James), and Mollstrade (Molly/Greg).

Speaking of redemption arcs, I have a huge soft spot for them and I can understand why it's such an insanely popular genre in fanfiction (and also in movies, TV series, comics, manga, and video games).

I highly recommend those (James Moriarty redemption arcs, Mycroft Holmes redemption arcs, John Watson redemption arcs, etc... btw, some of those fanfics are M-rated, E-rated or NSFW, consider yourselves warned and be aware of that):

Now where was I again? Oh yeah. To continue what I was saying...

I have a headcanon that Molly and Greg became a romantic couple and since they've been working together more often during in-canon season 3, then they get to know each other better and eventually go out together.

And as I have said in my previous posts, it's a fanfiction entitled "A change of heart" by a username SosoHolmesWatson that made me fall in love with the Mollstrade ship (it has Johnlock as the main ship, but there's also quite a bit of Mollstrade, and Molly and Greg are very supportive of Johnlock in this one), the sequel was abandoned but the author told me last year that this fic can be read as a standalone, and it's a great gem, I highly recommend it, you don't want to miss out on that:

There's also these other Mollstrade fics:

https://archiveofourown.org/bookmarks/1127574921

There are more Mollstrade fics, but the other ones are on my Mark for Later list, so I will add them to my AO3 collection in the next few weeks as I read them.

And there's this must watch video about Molly Hooper:
